Collarette Marigold 
“Crown of Cjold” 
All-America 
Gold Medal Winner 
The Best New Flower for 1937 
2199 The only Marigold in cultivation with en¬ 
tirely odorless foliage; delightfully sweet-scented 
flowers on long stems. A distinctly new type 
flower, developed on Burpee's Floradale Seed 
Farms in California. Unusual and attractive— 
the crown or top part of the flower resembles a 
Chrysanthemum in formation and is made up of 
long, beautifully incurved disc petals. The crown 
and collar of big, broad petals which surround it 
are of a bright, pleasing shade of clear golden 
orange. The crown of the flower measures 
inches across. Plants grow 2 feet tall. They are 
early flowering and bloom profusely all summer 
long. “Crown of Gold” is lovely in the garden 
and wonderful as a cut-flower. See front cover for 
color picture of this most outstanding Marigold.
